It also includes three tracks form their first EP, Choose to Love, Live or Die, along with two new songs, "Never Never Land" and "You're Not Worth Saving".

Reception edit

Aidan Quinn of PunkHardCore website noted that the EP's "quality here is hit and miss really. The unreleased songs are blistering – some of the best stuff the band have written... On the contrary, the rerecorded versions of [earlier tracks] ... are horrible".[3] Ultimate-Guitar.Com's reviewer felt their usual "style of screaming in the verse and singing on the chorus makes them an awesome band" as the group "were starting to make an imprint on the Australian hardcore scene and this album really set them out in the field".[4]
